*Update* Frisk could use some good thoughts.

Poor Frisk - having a rough time - aren't you boy???
How old is Frisk? I had 2 diabetic Lhasas - both diagnosed when they were about 10 years old - and both did well on insulin for another 5 years after that!
Hope things are looking up and that Frisk is feeling better and home soon!

Frisk will be eight years old at the end of this month.. so fairly close to the age when your Lhasas were diagnosed. Its wonderful to hear diabetic dogs can still lead a long life!


I forgot to link to the new thread, which is here. He is home now and feeling quite a bit better. Still not back to his old self, but he's getting there! :-)

Thanks, again, for the well wishes. They are very appreciated!

I just saw this thread. Best wishes for Frisk.Diabetes can be managed easily enough,But it does take commitment from the family. When I read your first post I thought about diabetes. I am surprised your vet did not pick it up sooner.Frisk will probally need insulin shots and a strict diet. Watch for any change in normal activity, it could mean his glucose is high or low and needs to be checked.I hope he gets to come home soon.good luck and keep us posted. katslady
